Love Letters from the Chocobros + Ravus, Luna, Cor, Nyx, and Ardyn
Earlier I wrote a love letter from Ravus that I really enjoyed writing, so I thought I’d do one for all of my favs! I sliiightly edited Ravus’s as well and included it here!
You wake up to find that your S/O has left in the middle of the night without waking you. This is how each would let you know.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Noctis
Noctis would send you a simple text message after he left. He likes to send everything that’s on his mind in one long message. He’d likely text you each night with updates and to hear from you. Texting is his jam.
This man so rarely communicates with anyone that it is truly special for him to have a message chain with you. You can bet that he never deletes anything you send him. You’ll probably also get King’s Knight invites. Playing the game together helps you two feel closer, even if you can’t be.
Hey, we had to leave like suuuuper early. Didn’t want to wake you. I hope your day goes well. I’ll try to text you when I can, probs when we stop tonight. I miss you. I can’t wait to get back. Love you.
[Simple, but sent to you as soon as he’s functional (so like noon)]
Prompto
Prompto would also text, but he’d send a selfie with either heart stickers all over it or doing the heart hands thing (or both, depending on how much time he has). He also sends multiple messages as things come to him. Prepare for a cheese fest with this cutie.
You know you’re special with Prompto because he always replies as soon as he can, we’re talking like a three second response time. If he can’t respond right away, he’ll apologize profusely when he does text you. He’d use tons of emojis, just...all of them. Prompto is probably the only one who you can reach out to whenever you want and he’ll always try to make time for you.
Hey babe! <3 sorry I left without waking you. Don’t be mad, ok? You looked just so cute sleeping. See?!
[sends you the photo of you sleeping we all know he took]. How are you so pretty EVEN WHEN YOURE ASLEEP?<3<3<3<3
Save the spot next to ya for me! I’ll be back before you know it![thumbs up]
[There’d be a pause in the messages as he becomes serious]
I miss you already...I love you. Remember that, ok?
Ignis
Iggy would want to be a classic romantic by leaving you a letter, but he’d also opt for practicality above all else. His actions would speak louder than words. He’d likely leave a note and a flower on the counter for you, next to the already prepared coffee, a breakfast that takes little to prepare, and all of the dishes done.
This man is one of the best strategists in all of Eos. He’d know every plan the two of you made better than you would and would be utterly disappointed that he had to skip out on them due to his sudden departure. Knowing him, he’d pull all the necessary strings to make sure your plans would be rescheduled for his return.
[Note]
Urgent business to attend to. Will return promptly.
Love,
Ignis
[A text message at his first possible opportunity]
Love,
I apologize for my sudden departure. Matters progressed quicker than expected, making it imperative to leave. Please know that I will be home to you as fast as possible.
I’m deeply sorry that I will miss all of the plans we made for this weekend. I made arrangements for us to visit the Royal Gardens upon my return and I have moved all of our reservations.
You will find a surprise awaiting you tonight! [It’s likely he ordered you your favorite takeout to be delivered when you return from work and flowers to be delivered at the same time.]
I love you. Be safe.
-Ignis
[Ignis would want to call you in the evening, but Gladio always finds the best conversation spots before him and he doesn’t want to be away from his duties for long.]
Gladio
Gladio loves being close to his beloved, so he’d probably risk waking you to kiss you before he left. He’d also call you and leave a voicemail the first chance he got.
Gladio makes sure that everything is personal with those he loves, so texting would be out of the question for him unless it was his only option. While he’s very learned, I don’t see him as enjoying giving you letters, perhaps because his handwriting is so bad? Perhaps because it’s still too distant for him. He’d rather take the time and call you each night. He aches to hear your voice.
This man doesn’t like using the L-word, but for him, “Be safe” means about the same thing. He really loves domestic life and would be disappointed about ruined plans, regardless of how simple they were.
[Voicemail left for you]
Hey babe,
Sorry I had to leave so early. I tried to wake you, but [chuckles] we both know how that normally goes. I got called out on an escort that had to leave before dawn. I shouldn’t be gone for too long, but I’ll let you know more details as I can.
[He’d pause to take a deep breath]
I know we made plans together for this weekend. It kills me that I won’t be able to make them, now, but duty calls, ya’know? [a forced laugh] I rented one of the movies you wanted to see, it’s by the TV. And yes, you can have my leftovers. [He chuckles again at the normal fights over leftovers you two have.]
[He sighs and gets quiet after trying to lighten the mood]
I really do miss you.
I won’t be able to answer my phone most of the time, so I’ll call you when I get a chance.
Be safe for me.
Ravus
Ravus’s letter to you would a full love letter, done on his personal stationary, sealed in an envelope, and your name beautifully written on the front. It may be brief (for him) due to the sudden need for his departure, but it’d still be one of the most eloquent letters of the bunch.
This man loves you so much, but he doesn't always know how to say it. That’s why he loves writing to you: he can take the time and think about how he wants to express himself. He knows the perils of his position and always fears he may never see you again. That’s why he leaves you physical letters, so that if the worst should happen, you have something to hold and remember him by.
My Dearest Star,
I must leave you as Chancellor Izunia has discovered “urgent business” that must be attended to at this late hour. With the morning light you shall wake and I shall be dreaming of you.
While a great distance may separate us so unexpectedly, know that I will do all that is in my power to make sure that my time away from you is limited: I hope to return to your arms within a fortnight.
I realize that my schedule grows tiresome on you. I promise that, upon my return, every moment I breathe shall be devoted to you and your desires. I long to bask in the radiance of your smile and to lay my hands upon the perfection that is your body, once again.
Your love is the greatest treasure I have been fortunate enough to be granted.
May the astrals watch over you until you are safe by my side.
With all my love,
Ravus
Luna
You are in love with the busiest woman in all of Eos, good luck. She would want to be romantic, having learned from her brother, but she doesn’t have the time or the means as she seeks out the astrals. To make up for this, she’d likely leave you notes at every gas station and town she passed through, hoping someone would recognize you and give you the note. Sometimes, she’d even call you, when she got your number right and had free access to a phone. Umbra and Gentiana would deliver messages to you whenever Luna could spare them, but that’s not often seeing as they’re also assisting the True King.
The fact that she’s taking any time to think of you and reach out to you is special. Yes, it’s a unique way that doesn’t always work (who knows how many notes are out there), but the creative solution to the problem is very special to you; it shows she really put time into thinking about it. It’s like a scavenger hunt for your love!
[First Note, given to you by Cindy]
Dearest Beloved,
I write to inform you that I am safe beyond Insomnia’s walls. Contrary to my deep desire to await your arrival here, I must continue on. I hope to see you soon.
Please be safe. I love you.
Your Dearest,
Lunafreya
[Second Note: Left at a campsite for you by Gentiana]
Dearest,
I’m so happy that this note has reached you. Know that my heart belongs to only you and my every thought includes you.
I head onwards to the astrals. Meet me soon.
Your Beloved,
Lunafreya
[Third Note: Left at the gate to the Meteor of the Six]
Dearest Love,
If you are reading this, I have already moved on. While my duty lies with Noctis, know that my heart lies with you. Please, come to me.
I await you where my tears meet the sea.
All My Love,
Luna
[A call from Luna]
[Hello?]
Hello!
Oh, my treasure! How I’ve missed your voice!
No, I must speak!
I’m afraid I cannot wait any longer, I must leave!
I’ll wait for you in Altissa!
Please hurry, I’m afraid my heart cannot take much more of your absence.
I miss you. Are you safe? Are your travels well? Have my notes reached you?...
[You calm her anxiety by simply saying, “I love you, Luna.”]
[you hear her sigh]
I love you, too.
[shouting in the background]
I have to leave.
Take care, but I’ll see you soon…
Cor
This man loves you, but he is ALL ABOUT practicality. He’s too slow at texting you, so he’d probably just call you later after he leaves you with a kiss.
Cor is a hard man to figure out. Looking from the outside in, it’s hard to tell just how much he loves you. But to you, it’s the little efforts he’s constantly making. Like he’d get the coffee ready to go before he leaves and maybe leave a note on the counter saying “Be back soon.-Cor.” You know he loves you because this dedicated workaholic makes the time to call you ever so often. While he doesn’t say much, you are one of the only personal calls he makes, so it’s extra special.
[Voicemail]
Hey…
I had to leave early on...royal business. I can’t say more. You...slept through it. [He knows not to bring up your sleeping habits by now but you can imagine the teasing smile on his face.]
Some of the guard may come by to check on you, I put in a request for it. Sorry, but just to be sure.
I’ll call you later.
I love you.
Bye.
[Between the two of you, it’s implied that he misses you, but he leaves you so often that you just know it. So much goes unsaid between you two, but you know you’ll regret it one day. Cor must know it, too.]
[The next day, Cor actually sends you a message!]
I miss you. I love you.
[Cor likes to bring you flowers from wherever he was when he returns.]
Nyx
Nyx would be out the door so often that text messages would be the norm. He’d be another one that you knew to read between the lines with.
This man would use so many shortcuts. Anything to be able to send you a message in his few spare seconds. Knowing him, he often gets his phone broken, so you get messages from new numbers a lot. But you know Nyx loves you because the man that can’t remember to eat or bathe regularly has your number memorized.
If his shifts are inside Insomnia, he’d stop by your work or apartment to steal a kiss if he found even one moment to spare.
Had to go early. Emergency. Be back tonight. Love you.
[or]
Heading out for a few. I love you. Libertus will b by l8r.
[The mere fact that Nyx is texting you shows that he cares. He typically doesn’t communicate if he doesn’t care at all.]
[If you tell him you love him.]
I love you too. I miss you. It’ll be awhile, but wait for me. I’m coming home.
Ardyn
This overdramatic wonderful man is a spectacle to behold. If you thought leaving you notes was romantic, this man is over the top. He leaves a full paper letter to you, left pinned to your door (to make your neighbors blush), AND sends you a dozen roses later in the day to show the ENTIRE WORLD that he loves you.
A good way to describe Ardyn is that he lingers. He would make his party wait to leave until after he gave you a long, slow kiss before he left. He’d stop by your apartment or work if given the chance and likely be there for at least an hour. He’s immortal and has all the time in the world, so he may as well spend as much of it as he can with you.
My dearest, sweetest [Y/N],
You have my sincerest apologies for my sudden departure. Unfortunately, urgent business must be attended to.
While attending to said duties, you will be a constant presence in my thoughts. I find my mind wandering to the sound of your voice, the softness of your skin, the smell of your hair, and the light in your eyes. You are a most welcome distraction to the monotony of bureaucracy.
Know that upon my return, you shall be treated like the royalty you are. I shall pull you into my lap and take the time to kiss you that you deserve. The bindings of clothing will melt away, that I may bask in the radiance of your body, taking my time to properly worship every inch of you. Your moans will be the sultry and sweet tones of a choir to the gods above. Oh, to have the taste of you on my lips again. May the entirety of Eos hear our love and have jealousy bloom in their hearts, knowing that you, the most beautiful and perfect human, nay, you must be a god yourself, is mine and mine alone!
Oh,I’m giddy for my return just imagining it.
My nights shall be lonely without you by my side, but know that I will stop at nothing to return to you. I have arranged everything, that you may want for naught until my return.
You have all of my heart, my beloved, my treasure, my starlight.
Your Beloved,
Ardyn
